IMHO, if GPS doesn't work in that location, I'm not sure that Galileo would
work any better.

You illustrate some good points...

What about places where GPS doesn't work so great for some people? Then they
might be willing to pay a subscription for a service that does benefit them

subscription, then maybe some people will be willing to shell out the cash
for that alternative "just incase".
